Summary: A Seminal Work in Belief Revision
Comment: This book provides a simple, self-contained and coherent framework for belief revision. The ability to model how an intelligent entity should revise its beliefs as it learns more about its environment is a fundamental goal of Artifical Intelligence.

Rating: 3
Summary: Interesting but ultimately confused
Comment: This ambitious book attempts to model belief dynamics. It is largely formal in character and includes sections devoted to applying the modeling to specific kinds of beliefs and is thus quite complete in that sense. However, the modelling is at best a (to speak metaphorically) a 'zero-order' approximation. In particular, the notions of minimality discussed seem to suffer from vagueness.
